Hey guys,

I finally got my car back together, thanks for all the help. I now have a problem when i start the car it wants to idle all the way up to 3 grand for 5 sec then slowly slow. The car then will go to normal idle after about 30 sec. My normal idle is just under 1 grand. I have always had this problem but it only idled up to 1.5 and i didn't really worry about it. Is this normal? I did put on a twin turbo setup but don't see how this would change anything.

Thanks for the help

See the "Surging Idle Checklist” for help with all your idle/stall problems. Everything you need to find and fix idle problems is in there.

The first two posts contain all the updates to the fixes. At last count there were 24 possible causes and fixes for surging idle/stall problems. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions.
